Quite a number of you have asked us how to season a cast iron wok. Thanks to La Gourmet who passed us this new wok to try, we could make this video for you. Roland is very happy with this wok. He said it's a very well-constructed wok and it can serve any kitchen for many years to come.
Here's more information of the La Gourmet CastIron Wok
It's a 30cm wide Nitrigan Light Cast Iron Wok. Compared to a typical cast iron wok, this wok is 30% lighter. Cast iron wok is viewed as one of the safest and healthiest cookware but rust has always been an issue. To resolve this, La Gourmet innovated by adding nitrigan to the surface of the cast iron. Nitrigan is highly resistant to rust as well as incredibly strong and durable. Most importantly, no chemical has been added to the wok, making the nitrigan treatment on cast iron a healthy alternative to PTFE coating cookware.
You can get this wok from all major departmental stores in Singapore.

The ChineseWaitress Cast-On is a beautiful, reversible, and stretchy short-tail cast-on. And it has a great name! See the photo tutorial and blog post at http://knitfreedom.com/cast-ons/chinese-waitress-cast-on
It was taught to Cast On, BindOff author Cap Sease's friend by a waitress in a Beijing restaurant.
Not only is this cast-on very stretchy, it also creates a reversible double-chain effect along the bottom edge that is very pretty.
For those of you who are just bored by other cast-ons, this one is for you. It's different and interesting, but not hard!
1. Start with a slipknot on your needle and a short tail hanging down.
2. Hold your right-hand needle under your left hand needle.
3. Wrap the yarn OVER the left-hand needle and then around behind the right-hand needle as if to knit.
4. Pull the loop of yarn through.
5. Remove the right-hand needle from the stitch and put it back in facing the other way.
6. REPEAT steps 3 and 4. You now have 2 stitches on your right-hand needle.
7. Bind off one stitch with your fingers. REPEAT step 5.
8. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until you have casted on the number of stitches you need.
9. Before putting the last stitch on your needle, bring the yarn to the front of your work. This makes the last stitch look good.
Tada! The finished cast-on.
I know this cast-on seems crazy, but it really is fun. Work along with the video and you'll get the hang of it.
Tip:
1. When you go to bind off the stitch, hold the working yarn tight in order to tighten the last stitch on the needle. This makes it easier to bring the other stitch over it and off the needle.
This cast-on is a small part of the upcoming video knitting course, The KNITFreedom VideoGuide To Cast-Ons, coming out in early May 2013. Watch your email inbox for updates!

Liu Yifei

Liu Yifei (born 25 August 1987), birth name An Feng (安风), legal name Liu Ximeizi (刘茜美子), is a Chinese actress, model and singer. She holds United States citizenship.

Early life and education

Liu was born in Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, Hubei and her birth name was "An Feng". She is an only child. Her father is An Shaokang (安少康), a 1st Secretary in the Chinese Embassy in France and a French language university professor, while her mother is Liu Xiaoli (刘晓莉), a dancer and a stage performer. Her parents divorced when she was 10 years old and she was raised solely by her mother. That same year, she adopted her mother's family name and changed her legal name to "Liu Ximeizi" and began modelling, along with training in singing, dancing and playing the piano. Her godfather is Chen Jinfei (陈金飞), the Chairman of Beijing Tongchan Investment Group (北京通产投资集团).

As use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in films has become a major trend, some critics, such as Mark Langer, have discussed the relationship and overlap between live action and animation. New films that use computer-generated special effects can not be compared to live action films using cartoon characters because of the perceived realism of both styles combined.

Waiting staff

Waiting staff, wait staff, waitstaff or serving staff are those who work at a restaurant or a bar, and sometimes in private homes, attending customers—supplying them with food and drink as requested. An individual waiting tables is commonly called a server, waitperson,waitress (females only), waiter (referring to males or either gender), or less commonly the 1980s American neologismwaitron. Archaic terms such as serving girl, serving wench, or serving lad are generally used only within their historical context. A server or waiting staff takes on a very important role in a restaurant which is to always be attentive and accommodating to the guests. Each waiter follows rules and guidelines that are developed by the manager. The main rule is to always stay busy. Wait staff can abide by this rule by completing many different tasks throughout his or her shift. Such as food-running, polishing dishes and silverware, helping bus tables, and restock working stations with needed supplies.

It's a combination cast on--It's a cable cast on, It's a YO, It's a knit cast on!
Neither the knit nor the cable are favorites of mine--and the big needles and non-stretch synthetic yarn are the best choice for this cast ... but.. I can do it. (and i suspect with practice could do it well!)-It's not very stretchy (or its not when I do it!) but it is attractive.

It's a 30cm wide Nitrigan Light Cast Iron Wok. Compared to a typical cast iron wok, this wok is 30% lighter.

8. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until you have casted on the number of stitches you need.
9. Before putting the last stitch on your needle, bring the yarn to the front of your work. This makes the last stitch look good.
Tada! The finished cast-on.
I know this cast-on seems crazy, but it really is fun. Work along with the video and you'll get the hang of it.
Tip:
1. When you go to bind off the stitch, hold the working yarn tight in order to tighten the last stitch on the needle. This makes it easier to bring the other stitch over it and off the needle.
This cast-on is a small part of the upcoming video knitting course, The KNITFreedom VideoGuide To Cast-Ons, coming out in early May 2013. Watch your email inbox for updates!

The ChineseWaitress Cast-On is a beautiful, reversible, and stretchy short-tail cast-on. And it has a great name! See the photo tutorial and blog post at http://knitfreedom.com/cast-ons/chinese-waitress-cast-on
It was taught to Cast On, BindOff author Cap Sease's friend by a waitress in a Beijing restaurant.
Not only is this cast-on very stretchy, it also creates a reversible double-chain effect along the bottom edge that is very pretty.
For those of you who are just bored by other cast-ons, this one is for you. It's different and interesting, but not hard!
1. Start with a slipknot on your needle and a short tail hanging down.
2. Hold your right-hand needle under your left hand needle.
3. Wrap the yarn OVER the left-hand needle and then around behind the right-hand needle as if to knit.
4. Pull the loop of yarn through.
5. Remove the right-hand needle from the stitch and put it back in facing the other way.
6. REPEAT steps 3 and 4. You now have 2 stitches on your right-hand needle.
7. Bind off one stitch with your fingers. REPEAT step 5.
8. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until you have casted on the number of stitches you need.
9. Before putting the last stitch on your needle, bring the yarn to the front of your work. This makes the last stitch look good.
Tada! The finished cast-on.

Justice League cast members during the press conference in Beijing,China

Chinese physicist Dr Chen Yue, working at the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST), talks about his research on RF resonant cavity thrusters, soon to be tested in a satellite. If this controversial technology, similar in principle to the EmDrive invented by British engineer Roger Shawyer, is proven to work in space, this is the beginning of a new era of propellantless propulsion.

This is an interesting, and not too difficult cast on.
It's a combination cast on--It's a cable cast on, It's a YO, It's a knit cast on!
Neither the knit nor the cable are favorites of mine--and the big needles and non-stretch synthetic yarn are the best choice for this cast ... but.. I can do it. (and i suspect with practice could do it well!)-It's not very stretchy (or its not when I do it!) but it is attractive.

How To Mill and Grind Cast Iron Angle Plates

Chris Anderson made a pattern and had cast 4 Angle Plates (CastIron). I agreed to Mill and Grind them into precision tools. This project has taken a couple of years when we first started talking about doing this collaboration. Chris brought them to the shop and we get them milled then I grind them to within 0.0002" of square over 5".

Lunar New Year's Eve Special 2018 20180215 2230

Celebrating the most important day in the Chinese calendar, a stellar cast from the Mediacorp squad will perform at both locations - Mediacorp Studio and Chinatown. Viewers are going to be entertained with lighthearted short skits re-enacting the way Singaporeans prepare and celebrate Chinese New Year back in the 60s at Chinatown while the family in the Studio represents the present day. These two mascots, Agogo and A-MeiMei, will make their appearances at both locations.

Identifying Old Cast Iron Pans

A guide to identifying antique cast iron skillets produced by several American manufacturers during the first half of the 20th century. Antique vendors (and especially eBay vendors) tend to price antique cast iron in two categories: overpriced "hot" names (especially Griswold and Wagner), and unknown "unmarked" cast iron pans that sell at a far lower price. This video offers tips on what to look for when you discover an "unmarked" cast iron pan, to determine the age and manufacturer of the pan -- and this will help you strike a good bargain or avoid being cheated.

How I Made My Own iPhone - in China

I built a like-new(but really refurbished) iPhone 6S 16GB entirely from parts I bought in the public cell phone parts markets in Huaqiangbei. And it works!
How much did it cost? Answer here: https://youtu.be/-KucQDXnKws
I've been fascinated by the cell phone parts markets in Shenzhen, China for a while. I'd walked through them a bunch of times, but I still didn't understand basic things, like how they were organized or who was buying all these parts and what they were doing with them.
So when someone mentioned they wondered if you could build a working smartphone from parts in the markets, I jumped at the chance to really dive in and understand how everything works. Well, I sat on it for nine months, and then I dove in.

(This video was produced in early 2014. Since that time, research by cast iron cookware hobbyists has shown that the year 1960 was *not* the cut-off date when companies began marking pans "Made In USA." I've been trying to correct that information in the video. Different companies began marking their pans with "Made In USA" during the 1960s: with Wagner (which then owned Griswold), they began marking their pans "Made In USA" during the early-to-mid 1960s. Birmingham Stove & Range has a fairly exact date: they started marking the pans in 1967 through 1968, and *most* but not all of their pans after 1968 were marked "Made In USA." Lodge started marking their pans "Made In USA" during the late 1960s.)

I built a like-new(but really refurbished) iPhone 6S 16GB entirely from parts I bought in the public cell phone parts markets in Huaqiangbei. And it works!
How much did it cost? Answer here: https://youtu.be/-KucQDXnKws
I've been fascinated by the cell phone parts markets in Shenzhen, China for a while. I'd walked through them a bunch of times, but I still didn't understand basic things, like how they were organized or who was buying all these parts and what they were doing with them.
So when someone mentioned they wondered if you could build a working smartphone from parts in the markets, I jumped at the chance to really dive in and understand how everything works. Well, I sat on it for nine months, and then I dove in.

Knitting Help - Chinese Waitress Cast-On

A deep cast-on with medium stretch, the ChineseWaitress Cast-On is pretty on both sides, and therefore good for double-sided items like scarves and blankets.
The sweater on the mannequin is my Woman's Zippered Letterman's Jacket, pattern + video tutorial:

What Chinese people think of Liu Yifei being cast as Mulan

Subscribe our YouTube channel for free here: https://sc.mp/2kAfuvJ
Chinese actress Crystal Liu Yifei will star in the lead role of the live-action ‘Mulan’ film, due for release in 2019. Disney's casting choice for the legendary Chinese female warrior has won praise from citizens in Beijing after several Hollywood studios were criticised for whitewashing Asian characters in films.

How to Season a Chinese Cast Iron Wok / Pan

Quite a number of you have asked us how to season a cast iron wok. Thanks to La Gourmet who passed us this new wok to try, we could make this video for you. Roland is very happy with this wok. He said it's a very well-constructed wok and it can serve any kitchen for many years to come.
Here's more information of the La Gourmet CastIron Wok
It's a 30cm wide Nitrigan Light Cast Iron Wok. Compared to a typical cast iron wok, this wok is 30% lighter. Cast iron wok is viewed as one of the safest and healthiest cookware but rust has always been an issue. To resolve this, La Gourmet innovated by adding nitrigan to the surface of the cast iron. Nitrigan is highly resistant to rust as well as incredibly strong and durable. Most importantly, no chemical has been added to the wok, making the nitrigan treatment on cast iron a healthy alternative to PTFE coating cookware.
You can get this wok from all major departmental stores in Singapore.

The ChineseWaitress Cast-On is a beautiful, reversible, and stretchy short-tail cast-on. And it has a great name! See the photo tutorial and blog post at http://knitfreedom.com/cast-ons/chinese-waitress-cast-on
It was taught to Cast On, BindOff author Cap Sease's friend by a waitress in a Beijing restaurant.
Not only is this cast-on very stretchy, it also creates a reversible double-chain effect along the bottom edge that is very pretty.
For those of you who are just bored by other cast-ons, this one is for you. It's different and interesting, but not hard!
1. Start with a slipknot on your needle and a short tail hanging down.
2. Hold your right-hand needle under your left hand needle.
3. Wrap the yarn OVER the left-hand needle and then around behind the right-hand needle as if to knit.
4. Pull the loop of yarn through.
5. Remove the right-hand needle from the stitch and put it back in facing the other way.
6. REPEAT steps 3 and 4. You now have 2 stitches on your right-hand needle.
7. Bind off one stitch with your fingers. REPEAT step 5.
8. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until you have casted on the number of stitches you need.
9. Before putting the last stitch on your needle, bring the yarn to the front of your work. This makes the last stitch look good.
Tada! The finished cast-on.
I know this cast-on seems crazy, but it really is fun. Work along with the video and you'll get the hang of it.
Tip:
1. When you go to bind off the stitch, hold the working yarn tight in order to tighten the last stitch on the needle. This makes it easier to bring the other stitch over it and off the needle.
This cast-on is a small part of the upcoming video knitting course, The KNITFreedom VideoGuide To Cast-Ons, coming out in early May 2013. Watch your email inbox for updates!

How To Mill and Grind Cast Iron Angle Plates

Chris Anderson made a pattern and had cast 4 Angle Plates (CastIron). I agreed to Mill and Grind them into precision tools. This project has taken a couple of years when we first started talking about doing this collaboration. Chris brought them to the shop and we get them milled then I grind them to within 0.0002" of square over 5".

Lunar New Year's Eve Special 2018 20180215 2230

Celebrating the most important day in the Chinese calendar, a stellar cast from the Mediacorp squad will perform at both locations - Mediacorp Studio and Chinatown. Viewers are going to be entertained with lighthearted short skits re-enacting the way Singaporeans prepare and celebrate Chinese New Year back in the 60s at Chinatown while the family in the Studio represents the present day. These two mascots, Agogo and A-MeiMei, will make their appearances at both locations.

Identifying Old Cast Iron Pans

A guide to identifying antique cast iron skillets produced by several American manufacturers during the first half of the 20th century. Antique vendors (and especially eBay vendors) tend to price antique cast iron in two categories: overpriced "hot" names (especially Griswold and Wagner), and unknown "unmarked" cast iron pans that sell at a far lower price. This video offers tips on what to look for when you discover an "unmarked" cast iron pan, to determine the age and manufacturer of the pan -- and this will help you strike a good bargain or avoid being cheated.
(This video was produced in early 2014. Since that time, research by cast iron cookware hobbyists has shown that the year 1960 was *not* the cut-off date when companies began marking pans "Made In USA." I've been trying to correct that information in the video. Different companies began marking their pans with "Made In USA" during the 1960s: with Wagner (which then owned Griswold), they began marking their pans "Made In USA" during the early-to-mid 1960s. Birmingham Stove & Range has a fairly exact date: they started marking the pans in 1967 through 1968, and *most* but not all of their pans after 1968 were marked "Made In USA." Lodge started marking their pans "Made In USA" during the late 1960s.)
This video is nearly thirty minutes long, and it is divided into several chapters:
- Introduction
- Identifying marks on a cast iron pan: 3:10
- Lodge Manufacturing: 6:31
- Wagner and Griswold "unmarked" pans: 10:37
- Birmingham Stove & Range: 14:09
- 19th century cast iron pans: 18:20
- Cast iron pans from Asia: 21:13
- Other cast iron manufacturers: 23:32
- Links to videos on cleaning and restoring old cast iron: 26:04
